Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

The Clinical Utility of Sequence‐Based Genetic Testing for Fetal Edema Following Non‐Diagnostic Microarray Results: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Ultrasound findings of fetal edema may provide early evidence of a genetic disorder. Our objective was to evaluate the frequency and diagnostic yield of sequencing in a selected population after a non‐diagnostic microarray result for fetal edema.

Pathogenesis and vertical transmission of a transplacental rat cytomegalovirus [PDF]

, 2006
Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) congenital infection is the major viral cause of well-documented birth defects in human. Because CMV is species-specific, the main obstacle to developing animal models for congenital infection is the difference in ...

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

A prenatally diagnosed Klinefelter syndrome case of 46,XX/47,XXY mosaicism with partial deletion of Y chromosome

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
Objective: Herein, we report the first case of 46,XX/47,XXY mosaicism with a partially deleted Y chromosome. Case report: Chorionic villus sampling (CVS; G-banding) was performed due to increased nuchal translucency; the results showed a 46,XX karyotype.
